The two launches also feature the latest Camarc Design double chine refined hull for improved speed, fuel efficiency, acceleration, and comfort.
PSA Marine has awarded a contract to Lita Ocean to build 2 units of a new-generation, heavy-duty and high-speed pilot launch. These two 17-metres launches are designed to allow for future retrofitting of hybrid propulsion, and will be equipped with smart and digital applications to facilitate remote-monitoring and enhance overall situational awareness and safety.

SOLAS/IMO/IMPA Regulations require additional safety measurements for pilot's boarding and disembarkation since recently. These magnetic holders of two types, one is manually set and the other is a remotely controlled one, fixes both pilot ladder and accommodation ladder (gangway) strongly onto the hull of the ship. Thus, the pilot can climb more safely. We are negotiating with ISO, IMO, IMPA etc in order to standardize these items for pilot safety.
